Re: need help with FFR lag (windows 10)

- *(from Hakulyte) If everything else fails, Do either "Windows Key + S" to bring up search, or "Windows Key + R" to bring up the 'run' command, and type 'msconfig'. This should bring up a small window for System Configuration. You will want to go to the 'Services' tab at the top, and hit the 'DISABLE ALL' button, hit 'APPLY', and then restart your computer. After your computer has restarted, repeat the above step one more time without restarting your computer, and then try playing again. This removes any possibility of any other software or program interfering with the game, other than basic hardware and the Operating System. However, it turns off a lot of QoL (Quality of Life) stuff and so it's the equivalent of a tactical nuke. You can turn stuff back on that you need slowly through the same menu.

long story short I'm playing ffr on my laptop while I'm away from home, trying to get it to not lag, and found this "fix"

do not do this
you should never need to resort to this to get a game running on your pc. if you absolutely positively feel as though you need to disable all of your startup services, you need to tick the "Hide all Microsoft services" before hitting "Disable All" and restarting. failure to do that will disable a load of services and you're pretty much booting into safe mode at that point, without the various safeguards that safe mode have.
